Eyelia Eye Drop 0.03% contains Brimonidine Tartrate. It is an ophthalmic solution primarily used to lower elevated eye pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By reducing intraocular pressure (IOP), it helps protect the optic nerve and prevent vision loss.
This medicine is commonly used as part of long-term eye care therapy and may be prescribed alone or in combination with other anti-glaucoma medications.

This dual mechanism helps maintain safe eye pressure levels and protects the optic nerve.
